A study made by South Korean researchers suggests that the Chinese licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) could potentially be used to treat ischemia-induced brain damage. The research, a collaboration between Pusan National University, Dongguk University, Far East University, and Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine, together with Naseul Korean Medicine Clinic, was published in the Journal of Medicinal Food.
From the findings, the team concluded that G. uralensis could be a candidate for treating ischemia-induced brain damage.
